King Kenny Dalglish set for Liverpool comeback

LIVERPOOL are preparing the way for Kenny Dalglish to return to Anfield.

Plans are afoot to offer Dalglish, who was sacked in his second spell as manager last May, a return to the fold with an ambassadorial position at the club he served with distinction one role under discussion.Dalglish has kept a low profile since seeing his contract terminated after just one full season in charge, during which time he guided Liverpool to their first silverware in six years, the Carling Cup, and also reached the FA Cup Final where his side lost to Chelsea.He has attended only two games at Anfield since his dismissal. Dalglish was present for the game against Manchester United in September when Liverpool paid an emotional tribute to the families and the victims of the Hillsborough disaster following the publication of an independent report into the disaster.He also attended the 3-0 win over Sunderland last week when he sat with a friend away from the official Liverpool contingent in the directors’ box and left before the final whistle.Despite the manner in which Dalglish’s time in charge ended following a £110m spending spree that failed to convince, there is a recognition among Liverpool’s hierarchy that his standing as arguably the greatest player to play for the club, together with the success he enjoyed in his first spell as manager, means he should be involved in some capacity in the future.Dalglish worked as an ambassador, and also at the club’s academy, when invited back to the club by former boss Rafa Benitez in 2009.He continued to fulfil those roles before answering Liverpool’s call to take over from Roy Hodgson in January 2011 on what was a temporary basis before landing the job full-time.Current manager Brendan Rodgers made it clear at his inaugural press conference, when succeeding Dalglish, that the legendary former forward was always welcome at the club. Rodgers is comfortable with the prospect of him returning at some point.
